Angry Had to level insted of lift.

Well was all set to get a 4" lift, then I noticed a weird noise when turning the other day. Looked under the truck and noticed my Ball joint boot was ripped, so I took it in to have the front end looked at and well 1,600 to repair everything no money left for lift.

Had to replace both lower Ball joints, Tie Rod ends, Steering gear/ Rack and pinion lines, RF Hub assembly as well as a Front end alignment. So I decided to just level the front end, had them install 2" level keys from daystar while they were in there. Will be picking it up in the morning.

Now I have to decide on tires (had to get them anyway) I will be putting my AT3s in 265/70/17 on the wifes 2010 Ram. I have decided to go with 285/70/17 but cant decide on which tire. I was thinking AT3s again or the s/t maxx anyone have a suggestion?

I personally wouldn't suggest STT Maxx's unless you spend alot of time in mud. Those things look rough on the road
